    Second Smoker Build

    Here's my second build. It's a GE fridge. Pretty much the same as my first. I reinsulated with rockwool, MYPIN PID controlled Brinkman 1500w heater.

    I bought the PID from Amazon. It came with ssr heat sink and t/c.

    My frig build

    No issues cutting the sheet metal plate. I cut it with cutoff wheel. I drilled thru bottom of fridge and ran wire thru hole. Sealed everything with food grade RTV. I have made several batches of bacon, turkey, jerkey etc. No issues with insulation heating up.

    My frig build

    My inside dimensions are 24" wide x 14" deep x 48" tall. It heated to 250 deg in 15 minutes. I think it will work for a larger chamber it just might take longer to heat up. You could put stove bricks in to help hold heat.

    My frig build

    I decided it's to cold outside to smoke so I piped it out window.

    My frig build

    I have a Brinkman 1500 watt burnerand Agptech PID. So far it works great. I had it up to 250 degrees for 2 hours. I prefer electric over gas.

    My frig build

    Test burn is going great. Held 200 deg for an hour no issues. I am ramping it up to 250 now. Yes the bottom blue/green part is original metal frig liner. Refrigerate had a top freezer and liner stopped at bottom of freezer.

    I started last January. Have not made much progress. Still working at it as time allows. New insulation, 18 gage stainless steel for liner and door, 1500 watt brinkman element, PDI controlled, home made smoke generator made with cocktail shaker. Can't wait to make bacon!
